In response to Mike Porter
Article extremely critical of playing the tournament at the Palestra:
http://sportzedge.com/2017/03/08/penns-pale stra-is...
"#4 seed Penn, with a losing record, is getting an undeserved home court advantage over the undefeated league champion, Princeton, This is a farce."
"Yes, the Palestra is historic and revered as a building. But if it is also a Cathedral, then it is Penn’s Cathedral, not Princeton’s, Harvard’s, Yale’s, or Brown’s, the other colleges that will be Penn’s guests. Since it is Penn’s Cathedral, then the Penn teams have the advantage in their games. Every team is more comfortable in its own “house of worship.â€"
